Eat Your Greens for the Planet

This excellent article on Time magazine explores the relationship
between what we eat and global warming. When it comes to cutting your
carbon footprint, the reality is that what you eat is more important

global greenhouse-gas emissions, which is far more than transportation.
The lower you eat on the food chain, the better it is for the planet.
Reducing your carbon footprint is easy and cheaper than buying a hybrid

footprint of 0.18 lb., one serving of pasta 0.39 lb., one of cheese 2.26
lb and grilled steak 10.5 lb.

effective ways to help reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.
